I'm Sorry I Don't Believe You

Because action speaks louder than words, and yours have spoken loud and clear.

I'm Sorry I Don't Believe You
Miguel Oliveira

I am sorry I don’t believe you when you say you love me and everyone else no matter our skin color, political opinions or sexual orientations and then stand behind a man who does anything but love.

Your overconfidence in this being God’s will diminishes all the faith I have in a God. Why would a God allow people to live in a state of constant consternation for the next four years?

I am sorry I don’t believe you when you say this is God’s will because as humans we have free will we get to exercise, and you made your will clear, and your actions spoke louder than your words of love.

I am sorry I don’t believe you when you say “this happens every time; People think it’s the end of the world but the sun always rises in the morning.” The sun may rise in the morning, but for some it will only rise to cast light on the fact that they will now wake up daily with the fear of losing their healthcare, right to practice religion, right to choose or even members of their family.

So I am sorry if I don’t believe your superficial words of comfort in the midst of this fear.

I'm sorry I don't believe you when you say you're trying to see things from my point of view, because it usually ends with you interrupting me to explain what the "correct" way to look at it *actually* is or to point out a flaw in my beliefs.

I will however believe and hold on to the small bit of dwindling hope I have in humanity: the fact that when this is told a hundred years from now, I was on the right side of history.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
